She does not have any kids, I know she tries to understand but I tell her you really can't until you have kids of your own. It changes your entire life and how you do things. I guess I really can't expect her to understand though. That's one of the biggest troubles with being a single parent and dating. I know that people think they can understand and really do give an effort but unless you have your own kids it would really be tough to completely feel what single parents do. Trying to mesh together two different lives, my personal, and parental isn't easy. Balancing my life can be very tough sometimes. To add to it my son's mother really contributes nothing to his life and just causes more problems. It would be great if I could just snap my fingers and fix it all. I guess i really wish that sometimes people would see how tough it can be on me at times and stop worrying about how it affects them.
